LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ogres, wizards, hobbits, can-can stars and a schizophrenic genius did well in movie nominations from the Producers Guild of America.

Nominees announced Thursday for the best film productions of 2001 were: ``A Beautiful Mind,'' about schizophrenic scholar John Nash; the wizard fantasy ``Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone''; the hobbit adventure ``The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring''; ``Moulin Rouge,'' a musical set at a Paris can-can club; and ``Shrek,'' the tale of an animated ogre.

The 13th Producers Guild awards will be handed out March 3. The guild movie winner has gone on to win the best-picture Oscar nine out of 12 times, including last year with ``Gladiator.''
